Woman buys 10,000

The woman bought 200 boxes of the chocolate
Shop staff were left bemused after a woman bought 10,656 Mars bars.
She made the huge purchase in Woolworths on Edgware Road, central London, last Tuesday.

The woman asked for all the Mars bars they had - including ones in the stock room and paid the £2,131 with new £50 notes.

A spokesman for Woolworths said: "We have no idea what she wanted that many Mars bars for but it raises all sorts of questions."

She then left it to a chauffeur she had with her to load the 200 boxes of chocolate into the back of a waiting car.

Daniel Himsworth, a spokesman for Woolworths, said: "The manager of the store said she looked Lebanese. She was smartly turned out in traditional black robe and a head- dress.

"I can certainly say we have never had that many Mars bars bought at the same time in the same store before."

My gawd, OAK. Saw that piece on CNN (sin)...What's she gonna do with all that chocolate? Start an Easter egg farm?

Quick, before it melts!

I prefer Butter Fingers, myself.

And Barbara Hutton would approve, if she could. Smile

Oddly, Mars bars are hard to find just about anywhere in the U.S. these days, and have been for awhile. You typically only find them at specialty shops any more.

Me, I like Snickers, but it's not really a chocolate bar per se. Nutrageous is good too. For a pure chocolate bar, nothing can beat a See's dark.

Butter Fingers were withdrawn in Europe because of their GM incrediences.

Bounty or Nuts are my favourites - if I can't get real chocolate, I mean :wink:

My kids eat Butterfingers all the time. Maybe that explains why they glow in the dark.

Not crazy about chocolate bars, but I do like some valrhona squares once in a while. It doesn't matter what kind, they are all good.

Niederegger - filled with marzipan. Me hates marzipan - you might as well fill the thing with Elmers glue. YUCK!

Are those the same as those chocolates you brought back from Austria? I had to hide them from eBeth, because she would otherwise have eaten an unacceptably large share of them (meaning, i wanted them all to myself).

My favorite chocolate isn't actually a "bar." It's those little square "Ice Cubes" thingys. They melt on your tongue.

Walter, Their GM contents? Don't geddit. Really, in my chocolate days, I loved everything. I even tried milk duds. YUK!

I must be cautious now, however, because of glucose intolerance.

Good thread, OAK man.

I have spent most of my day researching stuff, but it has been fun.

P.S. Godiva chocolates are WAYYYYYYYY over rated.

Eva -------- do they do Maltesers in the States, little round balls of honeycomb with chocolate coat. They melt on the tongue, dead easy to eat half a pound in no time at all.
